“On the 24 of October 2013, the Syrian Arab Republic submitted to the OPCW its formal initial declaration covering its chemical weapons program,” an OPCW watchdog said in a statement reported by AFP, adding that Damascus had had until Sunday to do so.

The Hague-based organization says such declarations by member states “provide the basis on which plans are devised for a systematic, total and verified destruction of declared chemical weapons and production facilities.”

No details of the declaration or destruction plan were released on Sunday.
